Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured2

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In laying hens, plasma thymosin beta‑4 concentrations were higher than in controls from day 7 through day 14 of GnRH-A induced molt.

    In plain wordsIn hens, the body's own thymosin beta‑4 in blood rose above control levels during molt induced by a GnRH agonist.

    Summary
    Plasma concentrations of thymosin beta 4 were elevated relative to controls from day 7 through day 14 in the GnRH-A group and from day 7 until day 28 in the FW group.

    Summary · context
    Thirty-three laying hens were divided into three groups: 1, controls, 2, GnRH-A infusion induced molt (GnRH-A), or 3, FW induced molt.
    Summary · context
    Blood was sampled weekly and assayed for concentrations of thymosin beta 4 and progesterone (P4).
